Ok, I am trashing this approach.  The reason why is the header record 
reads ok, but not the next record.  If I get rid of the header it 
works if I define the LEN in the INPUT statement, which leaves me 
with stripping out the header and adding it later, etc,etc, and the 
whole reason I wanted to do it this way was so I wouldn't have to re-
write the file.  So I am just going to modify another program I wrote 
which initially checks the data and identifies errors to allow the 
user to modify it on the fly as it's being read, and just write a new 
file on the fly as this is being done.  

Thank you all.

Chris
